T EMAEE beauty is an attribute divine. In the begin¬ 
ning woman was made beautiful to look upon, and 
doubtless Eve had sufficient pride and pardonable 
vanity to desire the preservation of her charms for Adam’s 
admiration. A like desire is one of the inherited virtues 
of her sex. “ A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” and the 
woman who would not make all possible effort to not only 
preserve the full measure of beauty by nature allotted her, 
but also strive to remove such blemishes as detract there¬ 
from, has lost the most charming attribute of her sex. 

Unfortunately the law of heredity, in conjunction with 
the follies and dissipations of modern civilization, has left 
its mark upon multitudes of women, upon each of whom 
some spot or blemish mars or destroys an otherwise charm¬ 
ing and beautiful personality. Science, however, has ever 
kept pace with folly, and the last generation has seen the 
development of a profession having the power to neutralize 
both the follies and their hereditary effects. To-day science 
can remove any and every blemish from the skin, and give to 
it the clear , soft , velvety condition of perfect , healthy childhood ; 
caii change a flabby , shrunken bust to the full , hard , beautiful 
contour of perfect womanhood, and can convert the dry, lustre¬ 
less, scrawny hair of a diseased scalp into beautiful , silken , 
fluffy tresses. j ; ;•* , ,, )

The first great exempli fier of this noble art was the 
Temple of Beauty ’ ’ of Paris. Paris has ever been cele¬ 
brated for its beautiful women, and its “ Temple of Beauty ” 
is noted throughout the civilized world for the noble work 
it has performed in the preservation of the beauty of its 
daughters. The last decade has seen the rapid develop¬ 
ment of the art and the equally rapid extension of our prac¬ 
tice until now it is equally well known in Paris, London, 
Vienna, Berlin and New York, and “ Temple of Beauty ” 
is now synonymous the world over with all that tends to 
preserve and enhance female physical loveliness. 

Our reputation is now so widely and firmly established 
that proof of that fact seems superfluous. We refer to many 
members of the royalty and nobility of Great Britain and 
Europe, to many society woman in New York, London, 
Paris, Vienna and Berlin, and to members of the artistic 
professions the world over, for evidence of the beneficent 
results of our work. 

The great metropolitan cities of the world are, however, 
but a part of the whole, and there may be multitudes of 
American women unfamiliar with the possibilities of our art 
and the extent of our reputation. For the information of 
such this little brochure is largely designed, and for such 
also our numerous branch establishments in America will 
be found a great convenience. 

Our professional rooms are always sacred to the sex and 
man never enters therein. Madame Le Moyne is the pro¬ 
fessional head. All of her assistants are ladies selected 
with much care from among our own graduates, and our 
patrons can be assured of absolute privacy and strict pro¬ 
fessional confidence. The great reputation of which we are 


7 


so justly proud, has not been gained by betraying profes¬ 
sional secrets, but, on the contrary, by guarding and keep 
ing them inviolate. 

In our Studios ladies can procure 

THE MOST SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT 

OF ALL 

BLEMISHES OR AILMENTS 
OF THE 

SKIN, SCALP AND HAIR. 

Treatment of the Skin relates to the neck, face, 
bust, hands and arms, and includes every description of mas¬ 
sage and manicure. 

Treatment of the Hair pertains to shampooing, 
dressing, singeing, waving (the celebrated Marcel wave), etc. 

Treatment of the Scalp covers all diseases which 
affect its general tone and healthy condition, and the strength, 
growth, fibre, texture and color of the hair. 

For successful treatment in any of the foregoing, ladies 
may come to us with assurance and confidence. 

Every profession has its quota of charlatans and quacks 
and ours is no exception to the rule. By such, labored 
efforts to convince the public of the depth of the science and 
the profound wisdom of the individual quack in question, 
are intended to cover the superficial^ of their treatments 
and the noxiousness of the nostrums used. As a matter of 
fact, the preservation of natural charms, the enlarging and 
beautifying of the bust, purging the scalp of disease and the re¬ 
moval of superficial blemishes, such as wrinkles, freckles, moles, 
pimples, tan, discolorations, superfluous hair , etc., etc., while 


8 


scientific, are all comparatively simple. The groundwork is 
a scientific knowledge of the construction of the skin and 
this must be supplemented by expert manipulation and the 
use of medically pure tonics, lotions and medicaments. A 
few weeks of properly directed study and practice in our 
school department will qualify any bright woman to success¬ 
fully treat any diseases of the skin, scalp and hair, and ladies 
possessing our diploma need have no fear of the qualifications 
of any professional. The tonics, lotions, etc., used by us are 
compounded from formulas of our own ; the concentrated 
results of years of study and research and our own secrets, 
they can be thoroughly relied upon for their purity and effi- 
cac}'. The success of many of our treatments is absolutely 
dependent upon their use, and our customers are warned 
against being imposed upon by imitations. 

ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN SKIN. 

Every person knows what the skin is—its external 
appearance and its general properties ; but there are many 
who may not be aware of its peculiar and wonderful con¬ 
struction, its compound character, and its manifold uses. 

In perfect health it is gifted with exquisite sensibility, 
and while it possesses the softness of velvet and exhibits the 
delicate hues of the lily and the rose, it is, nevertheless, 
gifted with extraordinary strength and power of resisting 
external injury, and is not only capable of repairing, but of 
actually renewing itself. 

The skin, though apparently a single membrane, is 
composed of three distinct layers or membranes, each of 
which has special duties to perform. The exterior of these, 


9 


or that one which immediately meets the eye, is called the 
cuticle epidermis, or scarf skin. It is of uneven thickness, 
in some parts being extremely thin and delicate, and in 
others, particularly those exposed to friction, thicker and 
harder; in this respect being accommodated to the nature of 
the part it covers. Throughout its whole surface it is 
thickly pervaded with minute pores, to permit the escape of 
the perspiration and other exhalations from the body. Its 
reparation and renewal are carried on at its under surface, 
while its damaged, worn out, and useless portions are thrown 
off in the form of whitish dust or minute flakes or scales. 

Immediately under the cuticle, and resting on the cutis, 
is the rete mucosum, or mucous network. It is a thin layer 
of soft, pulpy matter, of fibrous character, and reticular 
form, and appears to be the seat of the color of the skin, 
with the hue of which it always coincides. Beneath the 
rete mucosum, and forming the third, last in succession in¬ 
wards, and principal tegumentary covering of the body, is 
the cutis derma, or true skin. It is a highly sensitive, vas¬ 
cular, gelatinous texture of a very complex structure. It is 
of a whitish color and fibrous, and appears to be made up of 
an irregular species of network. Closer examination shows 
it to be composed of condensed cellular tissue, and to be very 
thickly supplied with absorbent vessels, and with arteries, 
veins and nerves. 

It is here that the minute capillaries of the arteries 
spread themselves out and, by means of the ducts of the 
sudorific glands or follicles, exhale the peculiar secretions 
which we call perspiration. The importance of the perspi¬ 
ratory functions of the skin cannot be overestimated, nor 
can too much care be taken to keep them in a state of healthy 


io 


integrity. Their use is to preserve the softness and sensi¬ 
bility of the skin, to maintain the temperature of the body 
at a uniform standard, and to remove from the system a 
number of compounds noxious to life. 

Regular and healthy perspiration, more particularly that 
usual form of it termed “ insensible perspiration, ” is not 
merely in the highest degree conducive to health, but abso¬ 
lutely necessary to its very existence. Obstructed or sus¬ 
pended perspiration is one of the most common causes of 
catarrhs (colds), bronchitis, coughs, etc. The sudorific 
glands and the perspiration pores invade every portion of 
the skin, and are exceedingly numerous. On the palm of 
the hand the orifices of these pores are faintly perceptible to 
the naked eye in hot weather, and are distinctly so with a 
lens of small magnifying power. 

The perspiration contains about one per cent, of .solid 
animal and saline matter, the latter consisting chiefly of lactic 
acid and salts of soda and ammonia, the rest being water, 
with variable quantities of carbonic acid, nitrogen, etc. Such 
is the general structure of the human skin, so complicated 
and yet so perfect, so delicate and yet so useful. 


DERMATOLOGY. 

It should be understood that it is not within our prov¬ 
ince to treat all diseases of the skin, but rather do we confine 
our practice to those milder forms which, while they mar the 
beauty, cause little physical discomfort and have perhaps 
been endured by the victim as inevitable, because ignorant 
of the ease of cure.

The family physician has no time for the scientific exter¬ 
nal treatment necessary for successful results. Such diseases 
or blemishes as can be treated internally through the blood are 
within his province ; but there his duties end and ours begin. 
Our practice is confined to external hygienic manipulation 
and the application of pure scientifically prepared external 
remedies. Into this field the physician does not care to 
enter, and in it we stand pre-eminent. 


COMPLEXION PURIFICATION. 

The New York Temple of Beauty is the only estab¬ 
lishment of its kind in this country in which the skin is 
treated in a thoroughly scientific and skillful manner. 

There are 150,000 sweat glands in the face, through the 
mouths or pores of which healthy, beneficent Nature forces 
out carbonic acid and poisonous and noxious excretions. 
The closing or clogging of these pores prevents this salutif- 
erous action and causes blemishes such as pimples, black¬ 
heads, acne, liver spots, blotches and concomitant evils. 

Our unique massage treatments are very efficacious in 
such cases and are strictly hygienic. They open and cleanse 
the pores, allay irritation, heal the skin and restore it to the 
natural velvety pinkness of youth. By accelerating the res¬ 
piratory circulation of the glands they give tone and strength 
to weak, inactive nerve tissues of the face and completely 
eradicate wrinkles, leaving the face firm, full and youthful. 

Tan, freckles and eczema are removed and cured by 
special treatments peculiar to our establishment.

THE BUST, 

Many ladies are either inherently deficient in their bust 
or maternal cares have destroyed its proportion and beauty. 

Whatsoever the cause, a continuance of the defect is un¬ 
necessary. Come to us and have a little patience and we 
will guarantee to develop, enlarge and beautify it until its 
firm, full contour shall be the fullness of rich, ripe woman¬ 
hood—the envy and admiration of your friends. 

We do not perform miracles, but we can and we do, re¬ 
new the youth and beauty of thousands of women by nature 
adorned but, by ignorance, marred. Our methods, while sim¬ 
ple, are thoroughly scientific and are endorsed by the medi¬ 
cal fraternities of both continents. The French ladies are 
noted for their beaut} 7 , chic and style. The complexion of 
English ladies, noted the world over for its freshness and 
bloom, has been falsely ascribed to the peculiar climate of 
the British Isles. Its true explanation can be found in the 
care which English ladies have bestowed upon their complex¬ 
ions ; and the good results first achieved by their own efforts 
have been increased and intensified by their adoption of the 
advantages offered by the common sense methods of the 
‘ ■ Temple of Beauty. 

Royalty and nobility are among our most enthusiastic 
patrons, and a glance at some of the faces reproduced in 
these pages will give ample evidence of the j ustification for 
their enthusiasm. 

We cannot impress too fully upon the American women 
unfamiliar with our work, that we can radically improve 
and beautify the person while increasing the general tone 
of the system. No paints, powders or other superficial aids 


15 


are ever used by us, and the lady who does use them is ad¬ 
vertising her blemishes to the world. Paint and powder 
have ceased to find a place on the modern lady’s toilet table. 
The wiser course is adopted of having defects eradicated and 
the skin clarified. Under our treatment the skin is brought 
back to the velvety texture and rosy color of perfect maiden¬ 
hood, and ladies are cordially invited to call at any of our 
establishments and satisfy themselves of the wonderful 
merits of our work. 

THE SCALP. 

The debilitation of the cuticle is a most fruitful source 
of mischief. 

In every part of the cutaneous surface, as elsewhere in 
the system, vital processes are constantly going forward, 
requiring for their motive power a portion of that mysteri¬ 
ous principle of life which we term vital force. But some 
portions of the body require far more of this vital force 
than others, because the processes occurring in their pro¬ 
vinces are more complicated and laborious than in others, 
and there is no other considerable portion of the cutane¬ 
ous surface that can compare with the scalp in the extent 
and variety of the labor required of it. 

Were we to examine the surface of the scalp with a 
powerful lens, we should find it very thickly sown with 
minute punctures, which represent the orifices of the 
perspiratory ducts, more than three thousand of them 
terminating in every square inch of superficial measurement. 
It is likewise peculiarly rich in sebaceous glandula, which 
furnish the lubricating and softening fluid to the external 
surface of the scalp. 

16 


When we reflect that every one of this vast number of 
minute channels is lined by a continuation of the cuticle, 
and that millions upon millions of cells demand a con¬ 
stant supply of vital force, we must understand that the 
scalp is really a very busy portion of the system. Nor is 
this all. Every square inch of the scalp has to propagate 
and sustain from five to seven hundred hairs. Adding this 
responsibility to the former, we are able to form some idea 
of the magnitude of the perpetual task that this portion of 
the cutaneous surface is called upon to perform. Not only 
must the supply of vital force be adequate and contin¬ 
uous, but the state of the surface must be such that every 
operation connected with the functions of the scalp may go 
forward with the vigor contemplated in the design of Nature. 

That these conditions are rarely fulfilled will be appar¬ 
ent, but the resulting disorders are too numerous to enter 
into. Each sufferer is familar with his or her own particular 
disease and all of them are readily amenable to our treat¬ 
ments. Any lady can have a healthy and clean scalp, if 
she will but put herself under our care or use our lotions 
systematically. 


THE HAIR. 

The hair given us by Nature to protect the head, as 
well as to add to the beauty of woman, is subject to many 
disea.ses. Carelessness, neglect and ignorance of how to pre¬ 
serve this most beautiful ornament is in many cases the 
cause. Before we consider these diseases, let us study the 
manner in which Nature creates and nourishes this delicate 
organ. The root is that part which is implanted in the skin, 


17 



HAIR DRESSING 


and has at its extremity a bulbous enlargement, which is 
whiter in color and softer in texture than the shaft. This 
is lodged in the follicular involution of the epidermis, called 
the hair follicle or bulb. 

This little follicle or sac is supplied with a bloodvessel 
and nerve, from which the shaft derives its life, growth, and 
color. Just above the follicle, on either side of the shaft, are 
two little glands that secrete an oily substance, which serves 
to keep the hair glossy, and prevents dust and other excre- 
mentitious matter from forming a crust around the shaft 
and thus retard its growth. 

The scalp in which these hair follicles are implanted, so 
to speak, is the same as the skin which covers and protects 
our whole body. Diseases of the hair are numerous, but 
we only refer to those that are met with most commonly. 
The hair may grow too long or too thick. It may be defec¬ 
tive in its growth, or may fall off prematurely from various 
causes, or in the natural course of things, as from old age. 
It may change its color, too, under a great variety of cir¬ 
cumstances, and at nearly every age. Old age, the win¬ 
ter of life, naturally brings the “frosted locks,” but they 
frequently appear also upon the heads of younger persons. 
Strong mental emotions, such as fear, grief, and sorrow, may 
bring a bleaching of the hair in a brief period, or even sud¬ 
denly. 

In view of these considerations, it is plain that attention 
to the scalp on the part of grown persons can hardly be 
amiss, and may often be abundantly rewarded. It may be 
observed at the outset that various conditions of the hair and 
scalp, referring often to simple mechanical obstruction of 
the pores or to the immediate consequences of over-stimula- 


19 


tion, or other ill-treatment, sometimes indicate more serious 
difficulties, as will be apparent from a perusal of the article 
on the scalp. Here a cleansing of the scalp will not alone 
suffice to remove the unpleasant symptoms. This condition 
will require a special treatment. The conditions alluded to 
are, briefly, irritation—indicated by a constant itching of the 
scalp, more or less severe—a moist exudation from the sur¬ 
face, dandruff, and scurvy accumulations, a faded and life¬ 
less appearance of the hair, and falling out of the same. 

In the treatment of these or any other conditions caus¬ 
ing a loss of hair, there is but one rational plan to be ob¬ 
served. First, discover the cause of the difficulty, and then 
remove it. By this means alone can we ever hope to be suc¬ 
cessful in accomplishing the desired result. Cleanliness— 
and we mean absolute cleanliness when we say this—must 
be observed under all circumstances. In point of fact it is 
necessary to cleanse the head just as often as the other por¬ 
tions of the body. We could never understand why the 
great majority of persons pay so little attention to this im¬ 
portant point. Even the most fastidious in regard to their 
personal habits of neatness are often most lax in this. The 
freer the style, and the more loose, of dressing the hair, the 
better. 

Treatments are given for the Hair in this Establishment 
by the most approved hygienic methods. Ladies whose 
hair is deficient in growth and vitality cannot fail to be 
pleased with the quick and satisfactory results obtained. 
These treatments produce luxuriant, soft, glossy hair, pre¬ 
vent it from falling off, and turning prematurely grey. 
Dandruff, loss of color, split or dry hair, is quickly and 
permanently cured. 


20 


FACES BEAUTIFIED. 

Why be disfigured and humiliated by any unsightly 
blemishes? Why suffer with pimples, blackheads, freckles, 
tan, wrinkles or any of the facial evils to which the skin is 
heir ? Come to us and we will cure you speedily and harm¬ 
lessly. 

If your ailments are aggravated and need more heroic 
treatment, we will scientifically cause the outside membrane 
of the skin to wither, die and harmlessly flake off, leaving 
a new, pink skin of infantile purity. Is not such a trans¬ 
formation a consummation devoutly to be wished ? Come 
to us and we will procure the transformation, providing you 
with a new face of matchless purity and new beauty. 

Is your neck thin and scrawny ? Come to us and we 
will make it full, plump and attractive. Is your face sallow, 
pale, pasty or muddy ? Come to us and we will make it 
healthy and bright. We do nature’s work and it is simple 
when you know how. No artificial means, no deleterious 
nostrums used. We open the innumerable clogged pores of 
the face, allowing nature to exude the poisons, and we then 
cleanse, heal and restore to a healthy condition with our 
scientific remedies. We attack the root of the disease and 
effect a radical cure. 

MANICURING. 

Treatment in this Art is given in the latest improved 
American style, and is considered indispensable to a lady’s 
toilet. It promotes a healthy growth to the finger nails, 
greatly improves and beautifies the shape, color and texture, 
and removes all cutaneous growths surrounding the nails. 
When carefully treated, deformed and ugly nails are made 
symmetrical and beautiful. The vulgar habit of nail-biting 
positively cured. 


21 



MANICURING 


WORDS OF WISDOM. 



The New York Temple of Beauty is replete with 
every convenience for the external treatment of hair, skin 
and scalp. 

A reasonable length of time is a pre-requisite to success¬ 
ful treatment, and ladies should come to us prepared to ex¬ 
ercise patience ; especially if their ailments are aggravated. 

There are no physicians connected with this establish¬ 
ment and none are necessary. The work done is purely 
hygienic and external, aided by electricity, electro-vibration, 
ultra-violet rays, steaming, massage, eliminating tonics, 
lotions, etc. 

Every ailment and blemish of the skin, scalp, hair, face, 
neck, arms, hands and bust can be as successfully treated 
as by the most eminent physician or surgeon ; and hair¬ 
dressing, shampooing, singeing, brushing and head massag¬ 
ing can be as satisfactorily performed as in any establishment 
on earth. 

The celebrated Marcel wave for the hair is one of our 
specialties. 

If you will carefully peruse this little booklet, word for 
word, you must be impressed with the fact that it is a .seri¬ 
ous matter to abuse Nature, and that a healthy skin is a pre¬ 
requisite to a beautiful complexion. 


23 




FACIAL MASSAGE 


WHY NOT BE BEAUTIFUL. 

It is the duty of every woman to be as beautiful as 
possible ; as beautiful as her Creator intended. Do you 
desire to attain and retain that pinnacle ? Then you must 
eat sparingly and keep the bowels and stomach properly 
regulated ; by frequent bathing keep the body’s seven mil¬ 
lion pores well open and the skin in a thoroughly healthy 
condition ; take plenty of exercise and plenty of sleep in 
well-ventilated rooms ; cultivate kindly thoughts and con¬ 
genial associates, and come to us for the rest. Madame 
Forsythe and her assistants will then be able to do their 
part to your thorough satisfaction. 

This is the only establishment that successfully re¬ 
moves the outside skin, technically known as scarf skin, 
from the face, neck and shoulders. This operation suc¬ 
cessfully and harmlessly performed results in the growth 
of a new, beautiful and spotless skin. 

The ?iames of our patrons are 7iever divulged without 
their assent, and then only in special cases. Ladies never 
see one another when being treated. Commendatory letters 
are often received and thankfully, but they are considered 
strictly confidential. Hence we never publish testimonials. 

ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS. 

Every business and profession has its hoard of char¬ 
latans and parasites, and in spite of the damage they cause 
it is often difficult for the uninitiated to distinguish be¬ 
tween the good and bad. It will assist the reader to know 
that our methods are those now approved in the high class 
skin hospitals in Great Britain, France, Germany and 


25 


America. Kvery intelligent physician endorses these treat¬ 
ments. 

It is quite a habit now for society ladies to come to 
us before attending special social functions at which they 
desire to look particularly charming, and again, for recu¬ 
peration, after particularly fatiguing entertainments. Paints 
and powders are now never used by well-bred gentle¬ 
women. 

NATURE OFTEN ABUSED. 

When Nature is abused and disease results, she makes 
a vigorous effort to throw off the morbific matter. Her 
efforts, however heroic, are useless unless seconded by the 
victim. 

What causes pimples? Clogging of the pores. The 
little plug in the centre of the pimple is called a blackhead, 
grub or comedone. Our medicaments and massage are 
the only perfectly effective treatments known to thoroughly 
eradicate these and other blemishes. 

The great secret of a pure, rosy complexion is to keep 
the pores open. The impurities will then exude through 
them. 

Through the 7, 000,000 pores the face and body is con¬ 
stantly breathing oxygen-and expelling poisonous matter 
when the skin is in a healthy condition. Close every pore 
and death would instantly ensue. 

Bach pore is about one quarter of an inch in length. 
There are 1,750,000 inches of pores; that is, 145,833 feet 
or 48,600 yards ; nearly 28 miles of this drainage in a human 
bod} 7 . 

Thirty-three ounces of invisible perspiration pass from 
the body in 24 hours of time.

Eadies are carefully taught the different branches, the 
best being culled from the Oriental, German, French and 
English methods. Medicaments for every ailment are 
supplied by us. The demand for qualified pupils is enor¬ 
mous and constantly growing. Our graduates command 


27 


large incomes on the strength of our diplomas, and no 
more pleasing or profitable profession is open to any lady 
dependent upon her own exertions for an income. 

Pupils may select any one or all of the branches as 
desired. Terms cash in advance.

EDUCATION BY MAIL. 

Some of the most successful educational institutions 
of the day are conducted upon the correspondence plan of 
instruction, and thousands of American men and women 
are to-day earning large incomes in professions which they 
have mastered in this manner. Realizing the great ad¬ 
vantages of such methods of teaching, if successfully ap¬ 
plied, to women too far removed to visit the Temple of 
Beauty, we adopted the correspondence idea with some hes¬ 
itancy; but the eminent success which attended our efforts 
more than justified the experiment. We are now teaching 
a constantly growing class, by the aid of over thirty photo¬ 
graphic illustrations taken from living models in the New 
York Temple of Beauty, with carefully prepared instruc- 


28 


tions, sent through the mails. This method has the 
advantage of qualifying pupils at points far distant from 
the centres and remote from competition, and any lady 
acquiring her professional education in this way may be 
sure of securing a 7 i independeyit income. Of course the 
possible income to be derived from the practice of the 
profession necessarily depends upon the enterprise of the 
practitioner and the extent and character of the community, 
but any community of a thousand inhabitants has potential 
practice enough to handsomely remunerate any enterpris¬ 
ing woman. 

USEFUL MODERN APPLIANCES. 

Every appliance of value, Oriental, Japanese, German, 
French and English, is in daily use at the studios. Electric 
batteries, with electric roller attachments for massaging the 
face, neck and bust—electric hair brush, etc.—are scientific, 
beneficial and popular. 

The Electro-Vibrator machine is excellent, and one of 
the greatest inventions of the age. It gives massage scien¬ 
tifically, producing 6,000 vibrations per minute, and may be 
applied to any part of the face or body with the most deli¬ 
cate or vigorous effects. It equalizes and increases the 
circulation, strengthens the tissues, and relaxes nervous and 
muscular tension; thus relieving the cause, it stops all 
pains, such as headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, etc. 

The electrical machine for drying the hair after a sham¬ 
poo is a luxury to ladies ; it dries the hair very quickly. 
Only a few minutes is required for a complete shampoo.
